This is a dockerized version of the Python script to include Lacrosse Sensors using a Jeelink into an MQTT broker and Homeassistant.
- Highly configurable
- Data publication via MQTT
- HomeAssistant MQTT discovery format
- MQTT authentication support
- No special/root privileges needed
- Linux daemon / systemd service, sd_notify messages generated
The Lacrosse sensors offer the following readings:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
temperature |
Air temperature, in [°C] (0.1°C resolution |
humidity |
Humidity, in [%] |
battery |
Lacrosse Sensors only provide a low battery warning, therefor you'll only see 100% and 0% here |
An MQTT broker is needed as the counterpart for this daemon.
Docker and Compose are required to get up and running. The setup is relatively straightforward. The only line which must be adapted is the following:
- /dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_UART_D8JKU78H-if33-port0:/dev/ttyUSB0
Use ls -la /dev/serial/by-id/ to find out the correct id to insert into the docker-compose.yml file.
After creating/updating the configuration file (see below) the docker service can be started using
docker compose up -d
Follow the logs using
docker compose logs -f
To match personal needs, all operation details can be configured using the file config.ini.
The file needs to be created first based on the included example.
Attention: You need to add at least one sensor to the configuration. Scan for available Lacrosse sensors in your proximity with the command:
This work is based on the lacrosse-mqtt-gateway by Alex Muthmann which in turn is based on the great work done by Thomas Dietrich in his miflora-mqtt-daemon.
